“Secondly, with the Clippers, Vinny Del Negro the coach wants to make this deal to get KG for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe. Vinny, as well as they’ve done, is in the last year of his deal and hasn’t been given an extension. He wants to try to win it right now, this season. The front office doesn’t want to make that deal, not for Jordan and Bledsoe. Sure they’d do it for a lesser package."

Saunders, who coached KG for 10 years in Minnesota, said he doesn’t think Garnett is going anywhere.

Flip also said that KG is a loyal guy. If Danny went to KG and said for the long-term health of this franchise we need to trade you and we're going to trade you to a team with one of your best friends in Billups where you can win a title and live at home, I think KG would do it. Especially if Pierce gets traded as well.
